Ecclesiastes 2:1-5 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. I said to myself, “I will try having fun. I will enjoy myself.” But I found that this is also useless.

2. It is foolish to laugh all the time. Having fun gets nothing done.

3. I decided to cheer myself up with wine. At the same time my mind was still thinking wisely. I wanted to find a way to enjoy myself. I wanted to see what was good for people to do during their few days of life.

4. Then I did great things. I built houses, and I planted vineyards for myself.

5. I planted gardens, and I made parks. I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.
